Hi b,
Here's a picture to illustrate about how much of the chrome plating remained exposed in case the paint on your louvers has already been removed.

The one you posted is decribed as "Argent", how is the other one described?
Same word?

Alan I had to add this to the silver I had to add very little until it matched my original spare .I used 1/2 teaspoon (don't tell wife I used her measuring spoons) to 4 oz of base color which is enough to do 4 wheels
